Vardy! at last I got one right.

It's nice to know once in a while you make a right prediction, when you see good value. I went to the London meeting back in February and was chatting to a few of the guys and at the time I mentioned I thought Vardy was an exceptional buy at 74p. My thought process at the time was he would (providing he was fit and well) be going to the world cup and also I felt he has at the age of 31 got one more big move in him, so there will be alot of media speculation around him.

Obviously people are getting on him now over the international break as Kane is injured and he might pick up media attention. Still think there is value in him even at £1.37 so I will definitely be holding onto him.

Just out of interest are they any players you have seen, without the obvious Neymar, Salah etc that have made you good returns.

Well done mate but I'd suggest from experience that his price will fall once the England friendlies are done? Based on that I'd be prepared to sell and cash in the profit, after all until he's sold it's not a real profit, you can always buy him back again if you think his price will increase pre-WC. But once Kane is fit he'll be back to sitting on the bench and so not making much news - assuming he doesn't bag 4-5 goals during the 2 friendlies :-D

@AT10 I see what you are saying and I agree it will probably drop after the freindlies. I can't help thinking he is going to move after the world cup and because he is fairly high profile there is still money in him. Just my gut feeling.

@Gary2907 He's certainly been linked with a few big clubs over the last couple windows so should be some media speculation over the summer, just wondering if you'd be better to sell after the friendlies and buy back again. But go with your gut ;-)

@Noirx4 well I'm pretty sure You and @Agatello have sang this guys praises before so I'm sure you probably already have him already anyway. Not saying everyone is guna buy him but a lot of the newbies probably don't know how good he is and I want to keep it that way till I've got the cash to buy him haha.

I doubt he'll rise much till after the world cup so probably be fine but should be a lot higher next season.

@AT10 100% the approach I would take, I've already exited my position on Vardy after a decent rise in the last couple of days, once the friendlies are out of the way he's likely to drop and then I can reassess whether he's worth buying again.

I enter and exit positions on players several times and it can be quite profitable if times correctly, potentially a lot more so than just holding onto a player for a longer period of time

@mike778 This is a strategy that I often use, buy into players early who are expected to do well, sell before the game, and hope that they have a stinker, then get back on at the lower price once they have dropped, rinse and repeat.

You do miss the odd dividend but I think the odds are more in your favour betting against the player to do well rather than the other way round

I've taken a punt on Andrea Belotti despite him not meeting the current desired qualities of CL and WC involvement as not long ago he was being touted as a £100m striker and was £2.88 on the index. He's currently £1.32 after a season where he's struggled with injury but he's still a quality player with a potential big move in him this summer. Scored last weekend. Good value i think.........
